Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular, not just the bedroom one. Geologists speak of pillows of lava, engineers of pillows that support a part and equalize pressure, and sailors of the block under a bowsprit's inner end. Each takes the same plain -s. Read the context before picturing cushions: pillows in a machine shop are blocks of metal or wood, not feathers.
